In our new place I don’t have the luxury of being right next to the router and connecting directly to it via ethernet so I wanted to see if I could team up the powerline connection via ethernet with the WiFi connection and, at least for incoming traffic, Fedora seems to team the two interfaces automatically and I’m seeing a considerable increase in bandwidth.

(It does only seem to use the ethernet connection for outgoing packets.)

@aral
Is there some special config needed or does it work ootb?

@SpeechToTextCloud Seems to just work :)

@aral If I recall correctly, wifi is half-duplex, so having outbound traffic over powerline only may not be a bad thing.

@deightonrobbie Powerline is also apparently half duplex but I guess the OS only sees the full-duplex Ethernet side of that connection?

(I’m using Sniffnet* to watch the traffic on the different interfaces as I run a speed test in the browser.)
